Summary
Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi has unveiled its new Modular Optical System (MOS) at the Mobile World Conference (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona this week.
The concept phone’s magnetic array is designed to accommodate a high-quality camera lens which can instantly share images to the phone via LaserLink Communication technology, and does not require charging separately as it is powered through the phone.
The modular system combines the imaging capabilities of traditional camera hardware with the computational power of smartphones, according to Xiaomi, and its sizable sensor gives it a quality that cannot be achieved by smartphone camera lenses.
It is not known if or when the concept will come to market, but Xiaomi stated in a release that it “has pioneered a groundbreaking approach to imaging technology”.
